Wow 1200 cals sounds insanely low. Im 260 and eat 1700 per day and am still losing quite fast. Im not sure if 1200 and your stats is sustainable/healthy. Sustainability is the key+logging honestly everyday. Good luck.

If u use cell phone app its under progress......if u use web then read previous posts.

All I can do is vouch for this site. Like you sai, you heard good things about MFP. As long as your honest and log daily this site is frickin awesome.

I would keep in mind to reasses every now and then. And as u just learned from fatdoob....you need to change goals so yhat you dont get in a rut again. MFP is only as good as the info and effort you put into it. Good luck my friend.

Not sure. Im a gut. I did google a female caloric intake calculator and the basic data yiu put up minus activity level (didnt know activity level so I put it at lowest level which is basal metabolic rate)....it said 1356 cals per day.....for maintenance.....mfp should give you something also?

When I was hitting the gym years ago I used to choose 2 muscles I wanted to focus for the day. Ex monday I would do triceps and abs tues biceps and abs Wednesday legs glutes and abs...etcccc....

Congrats!!! Im at 22.8# in 35 days and counting.

U guys crack me up!!!

Wow!!! Fantastic!!! Drop dead georgous!!! Did I forget anything? Congrats!

Thx for input...im off tomorrow so im gonna go walking before I workout.

I definitely sympathise. Im 260 so running hurts a little and I cant do it for long so im doing anaetobic stuff for now so I can get my body ready and it helps to boost weightloss. Once I drop 30# I will start to look at treadmills and begin walking. I hope to build up to jogging. Good luck

SKORS!!

I was skinny as a child until about 3 or 4 yrs..this is when my dad left the military. Recently my mom told me that she eat hotdogs as a child...cheap food source and she said she felt guilty about things so she let me eat as muckh as I wanted. At this point I was always chubby and this increased every year....from junior…

Its been such a long time since ive had an oreo... I cant remember what it tastes like

You can add me. I log daily. Im quirky and new on here also.motivate and be motivated by others!! ;)

Depends. At the beginning of myfitnesspal you entered personal info age weight goal activity level etc... This came up with caloric intake number for day which will get you to your goal weight by the date you put in. Exercising allows you to earn more cals for the day. So you can either eat those cals back and you will…

Good advise by all . I would be careful with keeping a cheat meal. If it works for you great but my recommendation is to just log it like everything else. Im not trying to be preachy sorry if it comes off that way. Others have put it more eloquently than me...so here goes...try and treat this like a lifestyle change and…

Adapt and overcome!!!! Ive got several buddies that tell me that. Ive been applying it to alot of things recently. Time and energy right now are my hurdles. After work im too tired to workout much. So I figure I workout at home for now with my dumbells. I do ab workouts also. Been thinking about yoga but dont know anything…

Almost sounds like a pad thai sauce....important to have noodles done before. I usually soak my noodles in hot 120 degree water from faucet and let soak for 15 to 20 min then if using right away I do not shock it..... (vice vrrsa)....make sure sauce is premade. Can prob add some sesame oil to bring sauce together. then…

Woof woof woof **spank* woof woof ;)

Sure wouldnt mind trying it. ...... Homemade kimchi (napa cabbage)

Hmm..so I keep on seeing this trolls comment. Im assuming its a general overal negative category type of person?? Anyways im still new here and you can add me if you like. I log everyday. I try to chat but in all honesty Im a bit quite at first.

Wow.thats alot to deal with. Im surprised he wont watch the kids if he knows you going to the gym. Personally im sorry but it sounds like a control issue but thats just me. I agree with alot of the previous answers. I would start by learnig your measurements and by a digital wcqle for kitchen...that helped me alot. I…

Ok sorry for the ignorant question h ut what do u mean by silently creep??? / creepy pm

Sounds like a great scale but with such a high variance personally I would stick to weight and measuring and just overall how you feel.

Yeah. I need friends on here. I log everyday but im not a huge talker. I think im like everyone else here in that im here to support and get support.

Flax seeds ....hj gh fiber...gnc sells in seed form or ground form...I add ground flax seeds to items sometimes.

Bread wasnt a comfort food for me but I never thought of all rmthe cals adding up till I got MFP and literally added them up. I cut white out at first but every now and then I will have a whole grain or maybe a wheat wrap. I cut sodas out completely...instead I drink lemon water if I need a little flavor......sometimes if…

Wow! Vr ry nice ;)
